George Michael Heated Interview on Cruising, Homophobia, and the Press (2006)

On 27 July 2006, Wham! star George Michael was interviewed by ITN's Nina Hossain about the ongoing press attention he was receiving after having been photographed 'cruising' on Hampstead Heath the previous week. He discussed his plans to sue a number of newspapers for libel, and condemned the media for their focus on his private life, which he alleged was driven by a homophobic bias.
